dc.description	THE EXCELLENT UNIVERSITY. In just a few years, the quest for quality hasbecome a concern of the utmost priority in higher education. Universities,faculties, research councils and the National Agency for Higher Educationregularly undertake evaluations to establish whether or not the academicwork of university departments is at the ”highest international level”.Rankings are constantly being published, and claims to excellence arebecoming increasingly common in the self-presentations of universities. Inthe article, this cult of quality is seen as a consequence of the insufficiencyof resources that plagues university departments today. In an environ-ment that advocates quality and excellence, there are few ways of over-coming financial difficulties other than to outshine one’s competitors. Thequest for quality and excellence should thus be seen as a systemic effect ofunder-financed meritocracies, whereby quality tends to replace the idea oftruth as the purpose of research and education.
